I would like to reiterate, we are not exiting the agreement. And this was done, it seems, in order for everyone to forget that over the last 10 years, it was the West who opened, who released the genie from the bottle as a result of wars. (01:32:08) These are the principles that underlie US and NATO military doctrines that require total domination. And its just total and unprincipled lies. They want to use everyone, terrorist, Nazis, even devil himself, to use it as weapon against Russia. We needed years and years to break this, and we needed massive state investment. With this, the flow of money to finance the war is not stopping. You cant feed them with those pieces of paper, and the virtual, inflated capitalisation of western social media companies cant heat their homes. Calculate how much it costs to transcribe, caption, or subtitle your content. Yes, everyone has a choice. This partial transcript was translated from Russian by Washington Post journalist Mary Ilyushina. A few words about whats going on around us: Dear colleagues, Id like to highlight another area. Just like the government quietly demarcated the borders of Soviet republics, acting behind the scenes after the 1917 revolution, the last leaders of the Soviet Union, contrary to the direct expression of the will of the majority of people in the referendum of 1991, destroyed our great country, and simply made the people in the former republics face this as an accomplished fact. They try to break commercial connections with our companies, they try to restrict our expert. And of course, they turned these people into canon fodder. We were able to avoid overregulating the sector. (58:33) Everything has to be aimed at the objective, at the result. We are one big united people. We have been insisting on protecting our own interests and also that protecting the position that there should not be a situation in the world where there are civilized countries in the rest of the world. What was the cover up? On the dedication to our unity, to our motherland, that unity has been demonstrated since the first days of the special military operation. About a year ago in order to protect our people on our historic land, in order to ensure security, in order to liquidate the threat that appeared from the Kyiv regime. Theyre used to this idea that they could do anything, that it turns out that they are treating their own people in this way. Dear colleagues, we have an approved plan of creation of a military force for the 2023, 2025, and we are working on it and correcting it as we go. Whats very important is a long-term savings of Russian citizens, and we have to stimulate that flow of that money into the investment sector, and Id like to ask the government to look at launching a special government program from April this year to create additional conditions for citizens to invest within the country, and to make money within the country, and also to guarantee the contributions to investment companies. Its important that this program gets a good start straightaway and gets stable financing. In 2021, growth was 11.7% and now 14%. Transcripts & captions for a better media workflow. This is the care that is provided by volunteers right from the start of the merger operation. (44:34) People often use the generator to customize established memes , such as those found in Imgflip's collection of Meme Templates . And they created a precedent. (01:23:55) We need to understand that we need to value their contribution to the defense of our motherland. Participation of teachers and scientists, scholars, we have to use that participation in order to create the courses for literature and geography, so that the young generation is able to learn as much as possible about our history. Its very important to them. In 2015, they attempted again to directly attack Donbas. The Americans provided vital explosives and gunpowder. Circumstances require us to act resolutely and immediately. NATO and Western countries were setting their military bases on our borders and biological laboratories, and they were training on the future theater of military actions. We began and we will continue our program of social restoration of these territories, and the idea is to bring back the factories and the industry and we will create access to our internal sea. Today, we are fighting so that it would never occur to anyone that Russia, our people, our language, or our culture can be erased from history. I apologize that I will not be able to name everyone. We are hoping that the government together with authorities will be very consistent in their work. This was the latest We have to rely in these steps, on our real military experience. Will Others Follow? Become a freelancer and work on your own terms. (25:59) Weve got this massive program that we began in 2022. And this is a win. We are talking about the supply, about payments and benefits in case theyre wounded and local governors addressing me and reporting to me on the result of their work. I would like to emphasize that it was before the special military operation they were negotiating the supply of heavy military equipment and planes and anti-aircraft defense systems. Also, we need to stimulate investment in other financial instruments. This is all unacceptable to us. There is nothing new in this: deep down, the Western elites have remained the same colonisers. Step by step, they started to destroy the system of world security and control of weapons. For the great historical Russia, for future generations, our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. (15:35) We have achieved visible results here. The dictates of the US are backed up by crude force, on the law of the fist. This tore apart and dismembered our national community and triggered a national catastrophe. We did not allow for the labor market to drop either. In his 2007 Munich address, the Russian leader firmly rejected the post-Cold War system he's still trying to torpedo. And Id like to remind you that in February, March, they were forecasting total collapse. Mr. Putin spends a substantial portion of his speech retelling the past 30 years as a history of false Western promises to divide Europe in a stable balance between American and Russian spheres of influence. He implies that this proves that the West is implacably bent on encircling and destroying Russia, and so can only be turned back with force. Every family, I emphasize, every family of a fallen soldier and every veteran of the action has to have a personal contact in this fund who will, in real time, deal with current issues. We will always remember the heroes of the Russian Spring, those who refused to accept the neo-Nazi coup dtat in Ukraine in 2014, all those who died for the right to speak their native language, to preserve their culture, traditions and religion, and for the very right to live. All they care about is their own benefit. (01:37:01) At the basis of new technologies, theres always fundamental sciences. Whats very important for financial sovereignty is freedom of entrepreneurship. We dont have to conduct a long, lengthy dialogue about what and how much, and at what terms. These European elites understand everything they do, but they prefer to serve the interests of others. (37:03) Id like to emphasize that all sanctions are just a means, but the objective, as the West says, and I say directly, to force our citizens to suffer. That is why politicians in Europe have to convince their fellow citizens to eat less, take a shower less often and dress warmer at home. And this is a sad reality, but its a fact. At the beginning of February this year, there was a statement of North Atlantic Union with the actual requirement to Russia, as they say, to come back to the strategic weapons including inspections to our nuclear facilities. And theyre betting trillions, trillions of dollars, and they are trying to continue robbing everyone else and theyre covering themselves with words of democracy and values. In terms of housing market, we built around 100 million square meters of new housing and agriculture has also seen a great success. This almost happened. Vladimir Putin: Full Text of February 21, 2022 Speech By Jim W. Dean and Gordon Duff - February 22, 2022 1 19783 Start of translation: Dear citizens of Russia! They have no intention of solving the problems of injustice and inequality. Today I would like to address our soldiers and officers who are taking part in the special military operation, the fighters of Donbass and Novorossiya, those who went to military recruitment offices after receiving a call-up paper under the executive order on partial mobilisation, and those who did this voluntarily, answering the call of their hearts. Because in this case, were talking about existence of our country. (57:40) Their latest statements of their leaders only confirms this. More cheating and naked deception again. Id like to point out that this is not a money printing policy. Id like to propose to create special measures which will liberate economic actions in this field. We know how to keep our word and not to fail anyone, and we always support people in difficult conditions, and we always support those who are in trouble. Today, we are making this choice; the citizens of the Donetsk and Lugansk peoples republics and the residents of the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions have made this choice. However, you can also upload your own templates or start from scratch with empty templates. We need to remove any intergovernmental conflicts, any conflicts within this governmental structure. We already have measures of supporting the veterans of the great patriotic war and the veterans of other local conflicts. A-. Putin Gives Annual Address to Russia Transcript, Congressional Testimony & Hearing Transcripts. Its their right. Athletes' ambitions don't end when they leave the field of play. Everyone knows how important this is and everyone knows that there are problems in this area. But, first of all, we will rely on our own potential, on our traditions, on our values, and here I would like to talk about the character of our people. (09:59) They also have to take into account that it is impossible to defeat Russia on the battlefield. There are historic changes that determine the future of our country and our people. (01:07:59) MOSCOW, Feb 21 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday delivered a warning to the West over Ukraine by suspending a landmark nuclear arms control treaty, And they were also publicly talking about supply of nuclear weapons. 1. Weve got development. Russia will respond to any challenges because we are all a single country. (01:28:50) New Delhi: In a televised address Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he was launching a special military operation in Ukraine to protect We will restore and develop industrial enterprises, factories, infrastructure, as well as the social security, pension, healthcare and education systems. But the choice of the people in Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson will not be discussed. The Russian agriculture sector harvested a record crop of 150 million ton of wheat. The west has got the objective to finish with Russia as a powerful player in the east, and they were trying to finance the terrorist and they were trying to contain our growth expansion, and the large Russian business was responsible for strategic factories where thousands of people used to work, which were determining economic situation in certain regions, which means that the management and the owners of these businesses are dependent on western powers who are hostile to our situation, and this is not a tolerable situation. (01:15:15) What, if not racism, is the Wests dogmatic conviction that its civilisation and neoliberal culture is an indisputable model for the entire world to follow? God bless, it is up to them. By Darragh Roche On 3/3/23 at 4:37 AM EST. Could we really have set up the production of our tanks without American steel? Anglican Church is planning to consider the idea of a gender-neutral God. Today, we need a consolidated society, and this consolidation can only be based on sovereignty, freedom, creation, and justice. And I would like to thank our members of parliament and government for this consolidated understanding of our national priorities. We understand that it is very hard for wives and daughters and sons of our military personnel. People who went through very difficult times, start new projects, invest in Russia, invest into factories and into employment, create new infrastructure in education, sport, culture, and this is how youll get the gratitude of people, many generations of people in the future, and the state will support you. Today we will sign treaties on the accession of the Donetsk Peoples Republic, Lugansk Peoples Republic, Zaporozhye Region and Kherson Region to the Russian Federation. The battlefield to which destiny and history have called us is a battlefield for our people, for the great historical Russia. They are heroes. Here are highlights from his 40-minute speech. And all we hear is, the West is insisting on a rules-based order. (21:09) (01:19:20) (01:20:04) I think this is a very important program. And so we will continue working with our partners with the objective to creating a stable currency environment. (01:34:29) We have to develop our infrastructure, tourist infrastructure, and I would like for those who faced this aggressive attitude of the west to hear me, running around begging does not make any sense. What does that mean to us? And theyre saying that there are certain issues that are not resolved yet and we need to work on those. We know that . It looks like theyre not stupid. I would like to repeat. In 1991, the West thought that Russia would never rise after such shocks and would fall to pieces on its own. This was in a principally different situation. This year weve increased the number of infrastructure loans that are aimed at additional, Id like to emphasize this, not like before, weve allocated additional 250 billion rubles on transport infrastructure. Youre either with us or against us. It even sounds strange. We are ready for this, as we have said more than once. People see the results of this program. Theyre saying there is no connection between conflict in Ukraine and other hostile actions of the West. Strategic security agreements have been trashed; agreements reached at the highest political level have been declared tall tales; firm promises not to expand NATO to the east gave way to dirty deception as soon as our former leaders bought into them; missile defence, intermediate-range and shorter-range missile treaties have been unilaterally dismantled under far-fetched pretexts. We have never agreed to and will never agree to such political nationalism and racism. Please try again later. This is their humanistic approach. They point back at Russia and say: that is the source of all your troubles. Today, we are fighting for a just and free path, first of all for ourselves, for Russia, in order to leave dictate and despotism in the past. Elites are going crazy and this cannot be cured it seems. This is also an indicator of financial stability, of banking sector. Many people had reasons to hate the communist Russian regimes from Stalin regime. Do we want our schools to impose on our children, from their earliest days in school, perversions that lead to degradation and extinction? But our duty is to protect our children. The finalists of these competitions, some of them went to as volunteers to work on the frontline or work on the development of these new regions restoring them. That is why they target our philosophers for assassination. Russia is a great thousand-year-old power, a whole civilisation, and it is not going to live by such makeshift, false rules. (17:06) They cannot rest easy knowing that there is such a great country with this huge territory in the world, with its natural wealth, resources and people who cannot and will not do someone elses bidding. But Russia remained standing, came alive, grew stronger and occupied its rightful place in the world. (01:06:47) Speech-to-Text API for pre-recorded audio, powered by the worlds leading speech recognition engine. They must think were stupid. The scope of the military action is something that cannot be replaced by anything else. Speaking nearly one year after ordering an Whats important is that citizens of Russia have to give them a moral valuation. (01:30:46) All of that is based on market principles. We will definitely rebuild the destroyed cities and towns, the residential buildings, schools, hospitals, theatres and museums. And we will do this. (01:18:25) The people have made their unequivocal choice. However, we need to tell them, but look at the scriptures of any religion in the world. So this statement that Russia is halting, putting a stop on its participation in the strategic weapons control agreement. These people are closest to the people and the trust to our state depends on them, and Im asking the administration of the president together with the government to create tools of direct support for best management teams, local government teams in municipalities and local areas, those who are able to take responsibility for themselves and for their people, and in order to strengthen our core values, whats very important is the educational system. We need to also not just increase their amount to be deducted, but also applicability and the ease of use of this tool. (01:45:45) Id like to thank our offices of Navy and Army and all the forces, to the fighters of Donbas and Lugansk region, to volunteers who are fighting in different areas, and BARS as well. Just like in culture, we have to provide scientists and researchers greater freedom for creativity. This year we will be doing this in Donetsk and Lugansk and Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. I would like to express special gratitude to citizens of Lugansk and Donetsk Republics and Zaporozhye region. Our relationships have deteriorated, and this was the initiative of the United States. I can admit that they didnt even know what they were doing and what consequences their actions would have in the end. Lets answer some very simple questions for ourselves. It is clear to everyone who stands to gain. Youve been in this game for many years. In this regard, dear colleagues, a little philosophical aside, Id like to mention, specifically, that we remember what problems and imbalances late Soviet economy had to face, and we remember the chaos of the 90s, and the country started to create a new economy based on market relations. (52:22) Recall that during WWII the United States and Britain reduced Dresden, Hamburg, Cologne and many other German cities to rubble, without the least military necessity.
